Why be an Entrepreneur?

Most people think that having a regular job with regular salary income is the best thing in the whole world. But little do they realize that though there may seem to be a sense of security in doing a job. It can be risky as well, especially in today's fast changing world. Most of the employees are taken by surprise when the plug is pulled off and they suddenly find themselves “laid-off” due to some strategic business move. Usually the lay-offs become more probable at middle management levels.
